Three young citizens, two from France and one from China, donated a collection of historical materials documenting Japanese wartime atrocities to a memorial hall in central China's Hunan Province.
The donation was made on Thursday to the Memorial Hall of the Victory of Anti-Japanese War and Acceptance of the Japanese Surrender in Zhijiang Dong Autonomous County of Huaihua City.
The materials, collected by the donors in France, provide irrefutable evidence of Japanese bombing campaigns, military occupation, civilian atrocities and plunder in Hunan during World War II.
Unlike domestic archives, these third-party records offer an objective and comprehensive account of Japan's wartime crimes, filling a gap in overseas historical materials on Hunan's resistance war and strengthening the chain of evidence for historical research.
The memorial hall said it will conduct in-depth study and detailed cataloging of the materials while carrying out comprehensive digitization and electronic preservation efforts.
